Sailing Home

I got Kind Fond Love out yesterday and I had no desire to work on it at all. I just stared at it for a few minutes and then put it away. I ended up starting the birth sampler for my nephew. It was just what I needed. Something easy on 30 ct. linen. I took a picture yesterday while it was still sunny. I have gotten a little more stitched since then. I finished the name and part of a flower.

30 ct. Old Mill Java, GAST and DMC threads (2 over 2).

I don't believe my brother or SIL reads my blog, so I think it's safe to put a picture up on here. I made it private in my album though. I'll post another pic later today. I'm almost out of the blue thread. I don't know what I was thinking only getting one skein. I just assumed they would put on the pattern if I needed more. Oh well, I ordered a couple more from Amy, which is where I got the first one, so they should be in the same dye lot.

Well, I'm feeling my rotation slip away from me a little. Or maybe it's just KFL. Or maybe I'm just tired from the time change. Can someone please remind me why we have daylight savings again? :)

Nicole, it's looking really pretty! Don't you hate it when they don't tell you how many skeins of floss you need? I hope the dye lots match! And yes, I hate this time change with a vengeance!!!! Don't worry about your rotation. I do think sometimes you just need a break. And stitching is supposed to be fun so if you're not in the mood for something, why do it? :D

You're off to a great start, Nicole! Enjoy the break from the rotation... if you don't stress so much about it, you'll find your way back to it. And if you don't, that's fine, too. Enjoy stitching--that's the only rule. ;)
